A two-year-old child in Sant Feliu de Llobregat, a municipality near Barcelona, died after a fall from the ninth floor of a building in the Can Calders neighborhood. The incident occurred on a Wednesday around 10:30 in the morning.
According to initial reports, the child fell from a balcony in the locality that serves as the Baix Llobregat capital. News outlets within the Prensa Ibérica group confirmed the details through their sources, noting that the child was under the care of a babysitter at the time of the fall.
The local authorities confirmed the tragic outcome. The mayor announced the child’s death and extended condolences to the family, calling for a moment of silence in the city council as a sign of mourning. The official statement was shared by the city hall and reiterated by the municipal communications team.
A large team of responders arrived at the scene, including medical emergency services, traffic and public safety personnel, and local police. After about an hour of on-site resuscitation attempts, the child was stabilized and transported to a hospital, where care continued in the intensive care unit. Despite the best efforts of the medical staff, the child subsequently passed away at Sant Joan de Déu Hospital.
Support services for the family were provided by the Barcelona Center for Emergency and Social Emergency staff, who accompanied the mother to help with psychological support and counseling in the aftermath of the tragedy.
The city council later announced two days of formal mourning in response to the incident, signaling the community’s shared sense of loss and the desire to honor the memory of the young life affected by this event. The case prompted discussions about child safety and supervision in homes, especially in high-rise buildings within urban neighborhoods like Can Calders.
